Graphite and carbon fiber share advanced properties, but differ significantly in structure and characteristics. Graphite’s layered structure yields high electrical and thermal conductivity, while carbon fiber’s fibrous structure results in exceptional tensile strength and stiffness. Despite both being corrosion-resistant, graphite is flexible and lightweight, suitable for electronics and energy storage, while carbon fiber excels in structural applications. Their unique combinations of properties make each material valuable in diverse industries, demonstrating their adaptability and complementary nature.
